The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 438 Attack
Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, the emperor's expression was not so good.

Although the mother wanted him to be in charge as soon as possible, but he finally fell in love with a girl, but he couldn't put it into action, it was too embarrassing.

Fuquan was outside the door all the time, vaguely heard some inside stories, and seeing the emperor was unhappy, he hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty really likes Cui Yuanniang?"

"Is there still a fake?" The emperor stared at him.

Knowing that the emperor was not really angry, Fuquan continued to ask, "Then His Majesty is going to give up?"

"Of course not." After the emperor finished speaking boldly, he felt guilty again: "I have to find a way to get the best of both worlds."

Fuquan sighed secretly, because of the Queen Mother's temperament, once a certain thing is confirmed, she will not change it.

It is almost impossible for His Majesty to have the best of both worlds.

But seeing the emperor's enthusiasm, Fuquan didn't dare to pour cold water on it.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to the banquet?" Fuquan asked.

The emperor shook his head slightly, with a trace of disgust in his expression: "I'm tired of seeing those talents, so I won't go."

After a pause, he asked Fuquan again: "Is Cui Yuanniang still in the Imperial Hospital?"

Fuquan had known for a long time that the emperor would ask about Cui Hengyue, so he had always sent someone to keep an eye on Cui Hengyue. When the emperor asked, he respectfully replied: "Cui Yuanniang has returned to the banquet."

The emperor immediately changed direction and went to the banquet.

Fuquan was speechless, but he didn't dare to dissuade him.

A servant followed them until they saw the emperor entering the banquet, and the servant immediately went back to report: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has left the banquet.

"Cui Yuanniang has also returned to the banquet."

"Oh!"

The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup at hand and threw it out. Everyone in the hall dared not breathe out of fear, and they all knelt on the ground: "Queen Dowager, calm down."

Unexpectedly, the queen mother was even more angry, and said angrily: "Bring me Cui Yuanniang."

These words were very blunt, Shi De didn't want to disobey the queen mother, nor did he want to offend the emperor, so he relied on his own status to order Ziyan: "You are a court lady, don't make eye contact, you go and call Cui Yuanniang over."

Zi Yan also didn't want to offend the emperor, so she didn't agree: "I still have things to do."

Before he finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Shi De: "Why, you want to disobey the Queen Mother's order?"

Zi Yan hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't mean that, and I didn't dare."

"Since it's not, then hurry up, the Queen Mother is still waiting." Shi De interrupted her.

Zi Yan looked at Shi De, then quickly glanced at the Queen Mother, and then walked out.

However, after Zi Yan arrived, she didn't show up in person, but called a small servant to pass the message.

"Cui Yuanniang, the Queen Mother has summoned you, please go."

Cui Hengyue thought for a while, then went to talk to Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui, and then left with the servant.

When the emperor saw it, he immediately sent someone to inquire.

Fuquan came back soon and reported: "Your Majesty, it is the Empress Dowager who summoned Cui Yuanniang."

The emperor suddenly stood up.

Seeing the emperor's movements, all the officials put down their wine glasses one after another, and the family members sat upright, ready to listen to the hadith.

Seeing this, the emperor was a little embarrassed, and took advantage of the situation to support his forehead: "I drank too much, so I will go back first, everyone, continue, continue."

Fuquan stepped forward to support him very cooperatively: "Your Majesty, you are drunk, I will help you go back and rest."

Everyone said in unison: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

As soon as the emperor left, the regent stayed for a while and then left too, and the banquet suddenly became lively.

"Quickly, stop Cui Yuanniang, and she must not let her see the queen mother." The emperor hurried to the queen mother's bedroom while ordering.

It's a pity that Cui Hengyue was taken to the Empress Dowager's bedroom by the servants as soon as she left the palace gate.

"Call me."

As soon as Cui Hengyue was escorted in front of the queen mother, the queen mother ordered to hit the board, which caught Cui Hengyue by surprise.

"Queen Mother, what did Yuan Niang do wrong, why did you beat her?" Shui Rong was stopped outside the hall, but when she heard the Queen Mother's order, she yelled inside regardless.

Ju Hong was too frightened to make a sound, nor did she dare to resist.

The Empress Dowager's face was very ugly: "I'm going to commit the following crime, tie up that girl and punish her together."

Shui Rong's face suddenly turned earthy, and she began to feel anxious.

Cui Hengyue originally wanted to break free from the restraints of the servants, but Cui Hengyue changed her mind when her gaze touched the empress dowager's sinister eyes.

She let the servant press her on the stool, and let the servant hit the board.

"Papa. Papa."

The sound of the board falling on her body came one after another, Ju Hong knelt on the ground, watched helplessly as Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong were hit with the board, feeling anxious, but did not dare to act rashly.

After all, the person in front of her is the queen mother, or the lord of the harem. She is a little maid, let alone fighting the queen mother, even if she is to argue for Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong, she is not qualified.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally arrived, rushed up and kicked away the servant who hit Cui Hengyue: "Presumptuous, do you dare to hit Cui's girl?"

The servant got up and knelt down, trembling all over: "Your Majesty calm down, and this slave is also obeying orders."

The waiter who was beating Shui Rong next to him consciously dropped his board and knelt on the ground, but he couldn't help but slander: It's really a fight between gods and ghosts.

"Yuanniang, are you alright?"

Before the emperor got a response, Cui Hengyue passed out, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come here, send Cui Yuanniang to my palace, and I will see who dares to do anything to her."

No one in the hall dared to speak, but Fuquan led the people to carefully help Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong onto the sedan chair and left quickly.

"Get down for me."

At the Queen Mother's order, there were only her and the emperor in the palace.

The emperor's face was dark, and there was a bit of accusation in his tone: "Why does mother treat her own niece like this? Even the palace servants in Yeting have to have a reason for being punished.

"Dare to ask mother, what did Cui Yuanniang do wrong that made you so angry?"

After beating Cui Hengyue, the Empress Dowager felt very relieved, but she didn't show it on her face, her face was stretched, and she seemed even angrier than the emperor.

"It's the biggest sin that she can make you lose your temper. I told you before that you can't like a girl from the Cui family, and you can't marry a girl from the Cui family."

If the emperor was still touched before, then at this moment, the emotion in the emperor's heart is gone. He feels that his mother's attitude towards Cui Hengyue is very suspicious.

"What my mother said before, I always kept it in my heart, but after I thought about it carefully, even if I marry a girl from another family, the obstacles to my own governance will not change.

"What should come will come sooner or later."

The queen mother heard what he meant: "You say that, do you make up your mind to choose a queen from the Cui family?"

"That's right." When the emperor said it, a flash of joy flashed in his heart. It turned out that it felt so good to be able to make up his own mind.

The queen mother became even more angry: "If you insist on going your own way, I will kill Cui Yuanniang."

"Don't." The emperor stopped subconsciously.

"Then from now on, stay away from Cui Hengyue, and don't try to choose a queen from the Cui family." The queen mother said harshly, and entered the inner hall, leaving the emperor sitting there at a loss.

After a while, the emperor got up and went out: "Go ask Imperial Physician He to treat Cui Yuanniang's wound."
